Studies have shown that most school nutrition managers have at least one child in their school with special needs. The medical conditions reported most frequently include food allergies, diabetes, and a variety of disorders that require modifications to the texture of food. Federal regulations require school nutrition professionals to modify meals for a child with a medical authorization that his or her diet is restricted by a disability. Providing special meals need not be a costly undertaking for school nutrition services. This issue of NFSMI Insight presents recommendations for managing nutrition services for children with special food and nutrition needs These recommendations focus on administrative processes that can reduce labor and food costs.

Extractions: Today's Globe Opinion Magazine Education ... K-12 May 11, 2005 CANTON, Conn. Since 3-year-old Ryan Taylor was diagnosed with autism last year, his family's living room has been doubling as a classroom where his parents are his teachers. ADVERTISEMENT His face breaks into a huge grin when his mom, Nancy, helps guide his hands while singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." The classic childhood game is one of many that helps him learn communication skills. Ryan didn't always learn at home. While he used to receive therapy under the state's Birth to Three program for developmentally delayed children, he grew too old for it and was sent to his local school. When the school couldn't match that program, the Taylors worried Ryan would regress and decided to teach him at home. They also hired a lawyer to begin appealing the school's program. His parents aren't teachers and working with him at home has challenges. "We have found that many ways we think we're being creative, we thought we're doing the right thing, and ... the psychologist will look at us and say, 'You shouldn't have done that,'" Craig Taylor, a former state lawmaker, said. Family advocates say the Taylors' problem is one of many faced by families who have children with developmental disabilities such as autism, Asperger's Syndrome and cerebral palsy. Advocates say the state needs a better system to take care of the children from birth to death.
